Variables assessed included (1) inflection point, (2) compliance index (CI), and (3) modified compliance index (MCI). These variables are illustrated in Figure 2. Inflection point was defined as the point of intersection of the linear portions. CI was defined as the difference in displacements at 67 and 89 N of anterior force [2]. MCI was defined as the compliance of post-inflection stiffness o...

A bstract We investigate for viable models of inflation that can successfully produce dark matter (DM) from inflaton decay process, satisfying all the constraints Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and some other observations. In particular, we analyze near-inflection-point small field inflationary scenario with non-thermal production fermionic DM decaying during reheating era. To this end, prop...

in order to investigate the growth curve of broiler chickens at line level, respectively 154 and 144 birds from two paternal lines a and b of a commercial broiler line were used. line a were selected several generations for low feed conversion rate and line b were selected several generation for high body weight. body weight was measured at 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 54 days of...

It has been argued that the speed-density digram of pedestrian movement has an inflection point. This inflection point was found empirically in investigations of closed-loop single-file pedestrian movement. The reduced complexity of single-file movement does not only allow a higher precision for the evaluation of empirical data, but it occasionally also allows analytical considerations for mico...

This study examines the impacts of real exchange rate fluctuations on the companies' strategic investments in Iran. The data of 92 listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 2002-2015areused. First, the volatility of exchange rate is estimated by the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH). The model is estimated by GMM and system GMM methods. The r...
